I have the normal Dropbox daemon installed, via cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf - (I had to add --no-check-certificate to the wget part, for some reason, but that shouldn't cause any trouble,) and it installed and ran perfectly, but every time I boot up, it forgets that I'm logged in. I don't know how to fix this.

Okay, will this version be a downgrade? I don't want a downgrade unless absolutely necessary (e.g., security vulnerabilities,) so what's different about this package? Also, why use an installation script when a Dotpet would work much better?

yes it is an older version of dropbox version 1.1.43. it works as it should do though remembering your setup details. i'm not sure if it's this particular version that just works. or the fact that it's a portable app

the script i posted is from the quickpet_precise program (in my sig) and just downloads dropbox from the site above. then adds a menu entry and an option the autostart dropbox. you can right click on the script and open it as text to see what it does.
i attached it because it's a convenient and small way to get dropbox.

i just tested the portable dropbox in a vanilla racy 5.3 frugal and it does work for me... although the taskbar icon doesn't show! however i just dragged and dropped the dropbox 'public' folder onto the desktop. i tested it by dropping a file in there and it worked fine, uploading the file automatically.

my script doesn't work on racy though so you'll have to download the portable yourself.
you then need to rename it to remove the space i.e. from 'dropbox 1.1.43' to 'dropbox1.1.43' or just dropbox.

then right click on it and choose 'permissions' then 'make executable/searchable'
